This book is PACKED with information, yet my 4&6 year olds were captivated the entire time. Ms Frizzle and the class travel through time to explore evolution, from single cell organisms of billions of years ago, all the way to the present day. The book is hefty and takes awhile to read through but it’s all very interesting. It is set up like the original magic school bus books from before the show, with the little reports by students to help explain vocabulary and key concepts, as well as the humorous little comic style word bubbles within the illustrations. Also a fun added element was searching for the bus on each page!

My four year old loves this book. So much to look at and read (and learn). A classic.

When the assistant principal, Mr. Wilde, tries to tell Ms. Frizzle about the upcoming parent/teacher meeting, she gets away. He and the kids follow her in the bus. He hits the button and suddenly they're in the eye of a policeman. After traveling to see how sight works, they fall into a child's ear. They also get smelled by a dog and get "eaten" by Ms. Frizzle. The children and Mr. Wilde get to know first-hand how all 5 sense work before coming back to finally tell Ms. Frizzle about the meeting.

The class learns about the five senses, in both the animal and human worlds.

super solid, I found it interesting and informative myself, and my rising first grader was totally into it too

I saw this and had to read it. I imagine someone will have issues with this. I even looked to see if it had been banned or challenged somewhere but I didn't see anything. I'm surprised because it had pictures of early man with no clothes on and an early woman who looked like she was breastfeeding a baby. OMG! I know!

I thought it was a great book that showed how life on earth has evolved over time and had lots of information. I learned a few things too. I might even have to read more of The Magic School Bus.

Book ten of the magic school bus, and this time the senses are explored, pretty much the same formula, although this one had a couple of differences, with a lot of educational details about the senses.
It truly is a good series.
